I've been using my hands to help people feel better since I was a child - my mother tells me that when I was three or four years old I used to rub my older brother's neck and shoulders when he came home from school with headaches.  After studying massage at Lane Community College in Eugene, Oregon, I began practicing in 2008.  I have worked with many different clients with various health goals and challenges.  Each one has helped me grow as a therapist. 

I'm fascinated by the link between stress and illness.  I love working with my clients to help them find the space to rest both their minds and their bodies.  My massage is firm but flowing, a careful balance between "work" and "relaxation" that leaves the body refreshed and the mind calm and centered. 

I'm currently studying acupressure and am excited to add that skill to my bodywork toolkit.  When I'm not doing massage, I enjoy knitting and spending time with my family.
